摘要： The golf practice driving apparatus is adapted for individual home use or for use commercially on a driving range. The apparatus has a ball supply container from which the balls are individually fed to a movable ball transfer member that in a first moved position receives a ball, and in a second moved position, delivers the ball to a teed position on a tee member. The tee member is movable between a ball receiving position and a ball driving position and is interconnected with the transfer member by a releasable locking means so that the weight of a ball in a teed position depresses the tee member to release the transfer member for movement from the second position to the first position therefor, wherein the transfer member is locked to receive a ball from the ball container and the teed ball is fully exposed for driving. When the teed ball is driven, the tee member is movable to concurrently release the transfer member for movement to the second position therefor. This movement of the transfer member is provided by the weight of the ball that was received thereon concurrently with the seating on the tee member of the ball to be driven. The transfer member, in moving from the second position to the first position therefor also functions as an actuator to operate a ball holding mechanism to release only a single ball from the ball container to the transfer member. This cycle of operations takes place automatically each time a ball is driven from a teed position on the tee member until the ball container has been emptied.

摘要： The golf ball receiving apparatus includes a net structure for enclosing a liquid filled container having a flexible front wall facing an open side of the net structure and constituting a ball target. The impact force applied on the front wall displaces liquid within the container in volume amounts proportional to the magnitude of the impact force. The displaced liquid is confined for movement into an accumulator chamber associated with an operator member, movable in response to the volume of displaced liquid, and directed to actuate a transfer member which transmits the magnitude of the impact force to a drive indicating gauge or scale. After striking the target, the driven balls are directed into a receptacle that is manually movable to deliver the balls to a collection area for reuse or for feeding into a practice driving machine.
